CLA Plus — for Natural Weight loss.
Our weight loss product helps to reduce body fat and maintain lean muscle weight. It’s proven and guaranteed.
CLA + Guarana + Lipoic Acid = Fat loss.
By combining the well documented fat fighting and antiaging effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) along with the herb Guarana that has been shown to assist in the breakdown and release of stored body fat while converting it to energy, plus Lipoic Acid, known as “The Gate Keeper” for cell membranes, we have a proven formula for conducting war on fat.
Two Ways to Reduce Weight
#1 Way - Reduce Fat Cell Size
|
The effect of CLA on blocking excess absorption of serum glucose and fatty acids into adipocytes (fat cells) is remarkable. That translates into a reduction in the size of adipocytes. One reason people gain weight as they age is that their adipocytes literally become fatter.

#2 Way - Reduce Number of Fat Cells
|
Guarana, however, has been shown to specifically reduce the number of adipocytes. When CLA was combined with Guarana, there was a 50% reduction in adipocyte number.

Avoid Danger of Free Radical Release with CLA Plus
One of the dangers of weight loss is the damage done as fat is burned for energy and free radicals are released from fat storage or created in the form of ketones. Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the ingredients in CLA Plus. It is a remarkable antioxidant that prevents much free radical damage and and helps transport fat out of cells.
To enhance the neutralization of free radicals even further we recommend Seven Essentials because it provides the greatest amount of antioxidants of any food on earth.
Guarana allows a reduction in number of fat cells.
Excess body fat accumulates via two distinct mechanisms. People either form more adipocytes (fat cells), and/or existing adipocytes absorb too much fat-glucose and become larger. The effect of too many adipocytes and/or bloated adipocytes is the unsightly and unhealthy amassing of body fat.
CLA has been shown to decrease the volume of adipocytes and thus reduce body fat. However many overweight people have too many adipocytes. These people need more than just CLA to achieve effective weight control.
50 % Reduction in # of Fat Cells
|
In a fascinating study just presented at a meeting entitled Experimental Biology 2002, scientists supplemented a group of mice with CLA and a group with CLA and the herb Guarana. After six weeks, both groups of mice showed a substantial reduction in fat mass. In the CLA-only group, the decreased fat mass was due to dramatic reduction in adipocyte size without a change in adipocyte number. In the CLA plus Guarana group, both adipocyte size and number of adipocytes were reduced by 50%.

THE IMPACT OF THIS FINDING IS PROFOUND.
Increased Lean Mass + Reduced Body Fat
|
|
|
In weight loss studies, CLA consistently shows an ability to reduce body fat while maintaining lean muscle mass. In one study, mice fed the human equivalent of 3000 mg to 4000 mg a day of CLA achieved a 60% reduction in body fat and a 14% increase of lean body mass.

Absolute Proofs of Effectiveness
|
|
Pigs have organs and metabolisms similar to humans, so they are good experimental models for human nutrition. In 1999 in the Journal of Nutrition a study disclosed a key element that confirmed that CLA is able to decrease fat storage and maintain lean muscle tissue. Sixty pigs were placed in one of sixty dietary treatments, one being the control group that received no CLA. Each other group received on of five different concentrations of CLA added to their normal amount of feed. After just four weeks of CLA supplementation, there was significantly less fat and more lean tissue in the groups receiving CLA. After eight weeks, the pigs with the highest CLA supplementation showed a 31% loss of body fat and a 5% increase in lean tissue. In addition, at the highest level of CLA supplemen- tation, the back fat depth was reduced by 25%. This study was the first to show the profound effects of CLA supplements on the composition and deposition of body fat, in relation to protein, water and other tissues.
A study published in August 2001 issue of the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders concludes that CLA reduces abdominal fat among men classified as abdominally obese. The study participants taking CLA lost an average of 1.4 cm in waist circumference after only four weeks. This double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial observed 25 men with significant abdominal fat for four weeks. Fourteen received 4.2 grams of CLA per day, while the others received a placebo. At the conclusion of the study, there was a significant decrease of abdominal diameter among the CLA group. None of the study participants changed their eating or exercise habits during the trial period.
Let’s Talk more about Guarana and Fat Loss
|
Guarana is an herb that contains a form of caffeine called guaranine, which is 2.5 times stronger than the caffeine found in coffee, tea and soft drinks. Yet, what makes guaranine unique from caffeine found in beverages is its slower release. That’s because the Guarana seed is fatty (even in powder form) and is not readily water-soluble. Therefore, the body does not quickly absorb it. Since the guaranine is released slowly, the energy boost that is experienced from Guarana is not like that coffee with its sudden rush and quick drop-off. Rather, it continues to escalate over hours. While caffeine from beverages provides a short-lived energy burst that overheats and excites the body, guaranine has a cooling action that revitalizes and relaxes. Guarana also contains other components that modify the activity of this substance... is more beneficial to the body than tea or coffee.
Guaranine accelerates the effectiveness of CLA, thus making CLA a more potent fat burner. Guarana has been shown to stimulate the migration of lipids so fat can be burned as energy. It is also an appetite suppressant. Guarana aids in a temporary, natural increase in body temperature and metabolic thermogenesis through nutritional stimulation of the body’s receptor pathway, which can induce the breakdown and release of stored body fat, thereby allowing stored fats to be turned into energy. Guarana increases mental alertness, fights fatigue, and increases stamina and physical endurance. Guarana has a long history of use as an energy tonic and for mental acuity enhancement.
Clinical Studies on Guarana
Guarana extract and fractions decreased platelet aggregation up to 37% of control values and platelet thromboxane formation from arachidonic acid up to 78% of control values. When platelets hyper aggregate and/or when excess thromboxane formation occurs, an arterial blood clot can develop, resulting in a heart attack or ischemic stroke.
In a 1997 study, Guarana increased physical activity of rats, increased physical endurance under stress and increased memory, with single doses as well as with chronic doses. Interestingly enough, the study revealed that a whole Guarana seed extract performed better and more effectively than did a comparable dosage of caffeine or ginseng extract.
Another Brazilian research group has been studying Guarana’s apparent effect of increasing memory. It’s antibacterial properties against E. coli and Salmonella have been documented as well. A 1998 toxicology study with animals have shown that Guarana is nontoxic at even high dosages of up to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight. This same study demonstrated Guarana’s antioxidant properties saying, “Guarana showed an antioxidant effect because, even at low concentrations (1.2) microg/ml), it inhibited the process of lipid peroxidation.”
Alpha Lipoic Acid “The Gate Keeper”
Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that boosts glutathione levels in the cell. It is well known for its ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants in your body such as Vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, along with glutathione. Some researchers refer to Lipoic Acid as “The Gate Keeper” to your cells, allowing the good things to cross into the cell membrane and forcing out the bad things. Lipoic acid reduces insulin resistance... so that levels of insulin can go down. Insulin is a fat storing hormone... so this helps diabetics to both reduce insulin and weight.
Lipoic Acid works very effectively with CLA and Guarana. It’s ability to open up the cell and transport out the unwanted fat and free radicals without causing cell damage is extremely beneficial to the process of shedding fat. This amazing nutrient turbo charges the fat loss and healthy strategy behind CLA and Guarana.
